Give Thanks

We have been spending a lot of time up at this kids school! It's been so fun! It was the 1st grade Thanks Giving Lunch. Jack loves when we come visit him. And I think matt did a great
job of taking the pictures of me and Jack!

This kid is amazing!

Jack's school had a little fundraiser... it involved running, something that at the time Jack didn't love doing so much! So we sponsored him, but we didn't think he would do too much. He was struggling to run in soccer, so why would this be any different? Well, apparently it is. Not only did he do great, but he ran the most laps out of all the first graders. Because he did that his class had no homework that day! The kid amazes me. Most kids stopped for a few drinks. He stopped once and ran for almost 30 minutes straight. And i said ran, not jogged... Way to go jack!

FHE

We had a fun FHE. We went bowling. After the kids finished their soccer games we told them that for doing so well we would take them to do something fun... something they thought would be really fun! And they thought it was! It was even more fun because Uncle Brad, Aunt Ashlee, Baby Evan, and Papa J came along too!

Alaska

Dave was lucky, so lucky. He went on a little get away to alaska last fall. They caught Halibut, Silvers, and King Salmon. All of which they brought home and we have had the luxury of enjoying!! He had a great time. 5 days of fishing in streams and in the ocean. It was just what he needed at the time. Every time I look at these pictures I can't but help sit in awe of the beauty of the land there.

All of them...

Where is the time going???

I felt like it was time again... time for spring pictures. I wanted to go back to the grass knoll, but it wasn't there... so we found a cute little farm. I love these pictures, but I need to do another one of all the kids. I kept asking Jack to shut Wes' mouth, but he kept droping his little mouth back open again. He was in and out of sleep the whole time. You can really see each kids personality though in all the pictures.

jack, the oldest, the worrier, the tough older brother, the strong and dependable one.
matt, the crazy one, the happy go lucky kids, another big brother.
nate, quite but fun, sweet and happy, between big boy and little boy.
charlie, crazy, sassy, sweet, cute, and well taken care of by her brothers.
wes, sleepy, drooly, sweet, new.
